A word of warning though, my mileage went down from around 17.3 to 17.1. I have a step function on my statistical mileage chart (yes, I am a freak)
I regeared from 3.90 to 4.30 and my gasmilage took a dump too. I don't know the numbers, but I used to get over 425km per tank and am down to 375km per tank. It is also winter, that might be part of it. I did notice an instant change in milage after regearing.

Yep, I am definitely turning more R's on the road trips I take, which equates to worse mileage. Of course, I was also punching it everywhere after I got the gears, so I am sure that didn't help much. Lucky for me this is not my daily driver, so it hasn't hit the wallet too much.

I bet 3.90 to 4.30 was VERY noticeable.

I'll probably going with 4.10. Did you notice a difference in acceleration after the regear? Thanks.

There is more accelaration, especially up hill. I never minded the 3.90 though, since I knew I was getting pretty good gas milage. I drive mine daily. If I ever go to bigger tires I definately wouldn't regear for it.

What size tires do you have?

I've got 31" on 15x8 wheels. The rim width has a little effect on the height, but not much.
